I plan on buying a new Polyswitch. The whole deal was there was apparently something wrong with one of them. The right horn was prematurely shutting down. I figured if I were to overdrive the horns my left one will still shutdown as designed. thanks for the replys. John,

I removed my crossover and found a polyswitch. i jumped it with a piece of copper wire. presto i have sound. thanks for the info. John,

Thanks for all the good info. My guess was there was a protection device of some kind, I wasn't sure. I am pushing them with a Yamaha M-85 Outboard amp 260 watts per channel. I listen at somewhat loud levels but try not to overpush my speakers. I will contact Klipsch and see what component needs to be replaced. Thanks again, JOHN

Lets see if I can explain this a little better. my right speakers high frequency horn shuts down after a few minuits of high level volume. If you get up close to the horn it is still producing sound at a lower level. Then if you turn the volume down for a second it will work correctly. But it will not take as long the second time to cut out. the two low frequency drivers continue to work correctly. I know that usually when a horn is blown you get a popping sound or no sound at all. This one sounds fine it just drops out at high volume. I checked all of my speaker cables they are ok. Is there maybe a bad capacitor or something in the crossover that could do this?

HELP! I have a pair of Klipsch Tangents, when you crank up the volume the horns seem to shut down. They will come back on if you turn down the volume just a second. They act like there is some type of thermal protection built in or something. When I First bought these they did not do this. Is there something in the crossovers that could be overheating? any help appreciated. John,
